Pete's GS400 Build Thread
Honestly molding it is the way to.. Just recently i developed a crack in my mold from a rock chip from driving.. Other than that its held up pretty well after all these years.. I'll be getting it remolded here soon..
Thanks man, i am sure i saw someone somewhere in this forum with the same look which influenced me.
My passenger mirror is cracked and i am going to get a new cover for it, but, it seems to swivel freely and loosely. as opposed to the driver side that is solid and doesnt move. Is there a trick to keep it still aside JB Weld

Wheels On!
Staying with my small budget, I wasn't going to pay more than i did for the car for some Maya RT5's. I gotta say thanks to member "projectdna" for directing me to the right tire fitment. So anyways, i went with staggered PRIVAT LEGENDE Matte Graphite/Machine Lip wrapped in FALKEN FK-452's.

This thread started by j stuff is a must see for those looking into coilovers. After research i went with Megan EZ's. They were out of stock everywhere from Florida to Cali and even the Megan factory until February at least. Finally i found a joint in Chicago that had a set and did a price match on top of it. So, don't be afraid to ask to match the best price you can find. Got the Moog Ball Joints comin' in also along with a few other "maintenance" things.

^ i hear ya brother. i appreciate your knowledge and experience. im on a hella budget so i am doing what i can within the budget i have. they will go low enough for me to just kill the uneven gap of front and rear. im not slammin camber or nuthin just need her low with no gaps
This might seem like such a minimal post. But the first thing i ****** up when i grab a new ( used ) car is these "Wonder Wafers" it took me a long time to find an air freshener that came close to a new car smell. The "New Leather" ones always been the best. They are more of a commercial product as opposed to all the annoying consumer fresheners at your local auto part store. Get em on eBay if you are interested.
